Pleasant reading for children who see the opportunity as a bonus of months of work, why not!?
Conflicting reading for parents who find themselves afflicted with the responsibility of filling this vacant space for their children, often with financial and emotional difficulties, the time they lack to contribute by exercising their roles as caregivers.
We know that many stay with their grandparents and caregivers, others who live in condominiums may have the option of joining together and hiring a entertainer.
Thinking about how to help them, I did a brief survey with children and to our surprise their little world is not as digital as we think…
The eyes shining, the expression of creativity, the voices that were shuffled in the anxiety of everyone to contribute, I confess that I was also very emotional.
Mini little men and mini little women, they reminded me of how much children dream, but this generation's chips have been changed to keep up with current developments. In this playful moment, I was delighted with the responsibility and spontaneous sustainability of their reactions, reinforcing the words of Christ:
Then Jesus said: “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them that are like them”.
Matthew 19:14
Children are lights, divine blessings in our lives, they are precious jewels, gifts from God, they bring us pleasure and joy accompanied by work and responsibility. As adults it is important to be aware that our children are dependent and that they become adults with values if the teachings are solid, fruit of love, respect, discipline and natural protection without the lack or exaggeration that we give them.
Reflecting on this divine experience, I provide you with a magical liquid to clear the lens of conflict with the suggestions gathered by these enlightened beings.
